Join us for our first ever Facebook chat next Thursday with our Ambassador of Buzz, Jonathan Kay.  Jonathan, our resident buzz expert, will be live on our Facebook wall for 1 hour to answer all of your buzz related questions.  Want to know how to generate buzz like Grasshopper? Curious what’s worked for us and what hasn’t? Have a general buzz question or not sure where to start?  Jonathan will be happy to answer all of that and more, so make sure to bring your questions!

It’s been a while since we’ve done an event post, and that’s because during the summer, events tend to be few and far between.  Not next week!

We have a great week lined up from the What no to Web Remix on Tuesday, to Building an Army of Brand Loyalists with MassChallenge on Wednesday, and our Facebook chat with Jonathan Kay on Thursday – we’ll be pretty busy!

Monday and Tuesday of this week, we are going to be running a contest to give away a FREE ticket to MicroConf ($599 value!). MicroConf takes place June 6th and 7th in Las Vegas, NV. The contest is simple, all you have to do is tell us how the money you save on your MicroConf ticket could be better spent. Simple as that!

This past weekend the BarCamp Tour made a stop in Minneapolis, MN. MinneBar, as they call it, is the largest BarCamp in America and the second largest BarCamp in the world (second only to India!). Home to the Mall of America and a statue tribute to Mary Tyler Moore, Minneapolis also has a thriving tech community that welcomed us with open arms.

This week we will be in Minneapolis for the second stop on the BarCamp Tour. BarCamp Minneapolis is a one day conference taking place on May 7th. If you’re in the area or are on the fence about attending, here’s a fun fact: BarCamp Minneapolis is the LARGEST BarCamp outside of India’s and they expect to have around 1000 attendees. We are really excited about this BarCamp, and we’ll be sure to report back on it for those who can’t attend.
